why wy?

Things not to do on my next bike ride
1) wear flared jeans or pants. the fraying edges have a strange attraction to the chain....
2) go to both the library AND the supermarket. Books + groceries = heavy.
3) talk on the handphone and cycle at the same time. Actually I am not proficient enough to do this yet, but i've seen the cuts and bruises of someone who has.
4) drink and ride. apparently it is illegal and you can lose your car license if you are caught.

The week has just flown by, the highlight(s) are being beaten by mr hip replacement and beating up someone in aikido. Well, we throw each other around but this was an after-class no-technique-involved wrestle. He was about my size and i'm pretty sure he held back a bit because nice guys don't hit girls. For once, "fighting like a girl" is not an insult.
